✦ Synopsis
The synthesis of the optically pure 1,4,5,6-tetra-O-benzyl-myo-inositols was achieved in four steps via diastereomeric 2,3-spire-acetals of myo-inositol with Land D-camphor as the key intermediates. Camphor dimethyl acetal was used for the acetalation reaction. The diastereomers were benzylated and separated by chromatography, and the structures of the products were determined by 2D-NOESY 'H-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Hydrolysis of the diastereomers then afforded the title products. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Treatment of myo-inositol (1) with a 2-fold molar excess of D-camphor dimethyl acetal (2) in anhydrous methyl sulfoxide at 6S-70" in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid gave a mixture of positional and stereoisomers as *Author for correspondence.

myo-Inositol 1,4,6-u-&phosphate, in optically inactive and active forms, was prepared in order to compare its biological activity with that of myo-inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate which releases Ca2+ from an intracellular store.
Novel routes to myo-inositol 1,4,5trisphosphate and a phosphorothioate analogue involving mixed P(V) and P(III) chemistry have been developed. Phosphorylation of 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-myo-inositol l-[di-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) phosphate] with bis(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) phosphorochloridate gave a mixture
